While preparing for a trip to Nashville I sought out information on local parishes. While my first instinct was to go to the Cathedral I had somebody online recommend Assumption because of the 8:30am Latin Mass. I definitely have a spirituality best fulfilled by the Extraordinary Form, so this was music to my ears. I had assumed (ha) from the time of my planning to the time I arrived that at 8:30 there would have only been a Low Mass, but I was happily wrong. I was blessed to experience a Sung High Mass in a church filled almost to the brim - mostly with young families. The sermon was excellent as well, invigorating exposition of the readings which both informed and inspired.
It's a testament to both the fruits of pastoral work as well as the grace of God that such a wonderful community can exist. Definitely come to Assumption if you're traveling, or even if you're just interested in...

It's such a beautiful church that's been there for the people for...
Read moreI absolutely love this parish!! We moved here nearly 6 years ago and we have finally landed at a parish we truly feel welcomed at and are fed what our faith is really about. The community in the parish is like I've never experienced as a life long Catholic. Fr. Price has strong homilies. Fr. Kirk is precious and offers to hear confessions during mass. I'm so happy I decided to give TLM a try. Tradition to the core here. I can't wait to get into the church once tornado repairs are complete but we are so grateful we are able to celebrate the mass even with it being a packed house in a room we are fortunate to celebrate in. Those who come to Assumption are here because it is an environment of truly traditional Catholicism. I really could go on and on. I just can't say a bad thing...
